    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2023
     | 1,330 views

    We continue to look at Satan’s schemes, and this time, at the resuscitation of Sodom and what homosexuality does; and at affirmative equality and not ability; and children being ruined in education; and how a nation can be undermined. Also demonic possession, influence, and oppression.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 3 This is a series where we examine some means by which Satan has made inroads into human activity. It might be surprising to hear that we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, but the bible says that, and this is an attempt to explore that ...read more

    The Truth Shall Make You Free!

     | 1,572 views

    One of Jesus' better-known statements is recorded for us in John 8:32. Some see this as political freedom, but it goes much further, for it describes Jesus Himself and the power to set us free from the oppression of sin.

    When we think of the concept of freedom, we here in America refer to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that guarantee us freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right to address our grievances, the right to bear arms, the freedom to assemble peacefully, and the right to legal ...read more

    God is always against those who are proud, and profit or power driven. He lifts up those who are humble and gracious. We, as His people, must always be the voice of the protection of the planet and the deliverance of the oppressed.

    Revelation 18 v. 9 and they shall weep and mourn about her, those kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and grew rich when they see the smoke of her burning. v. 10 they stayed a distance for fear of her torment, saying, “Woe!

Many churches and denominations don’t acknowledge that the offices of Apostle and Prophet exist any longer. So those leaders with these giftings are forced to mold themselves into ...read more

    Realistic Reminders Series

    We need reminders to keep us realistic about human social behavior, about our tendency to accommodate our own sin, and about the nature of government leaders.

    Realistic Reminders (Proverbs 28:11-16) 1. Everyone is forgetful at times. The difference is often this: some people remember they are absent-minded, others forget they are absent-minded. 2. One of my favorite original jokes is also true: I read a book about how to remember, but forgot what it ...read more
